Electrical Searches for Bullets.

When President Garfield was slowly dy-
ing at Elberon, and the attending sur
geons were locating the fatal bullet in
spots clear away from where, after death,
IL was discovered, an electrical apparatus
was constructed by Professor Graham
Bell for the purpose Of finding the bit Of
lead The failure was ridiculed, much to
the chagrin of Bell and the doctors. The
discovery has since been made that Gar
field lay on metallic mattress, which
frustrated the electricity Now, under
the sanction of the New York academy of
medicine. machine has been constructed
and tested. The machine consisted of a
battery, tolls and other familiar tele-
graphic devices. but principally of a thin
steel probe connected with the wires in a
manner invented by Bell The surface of
the patient over an imbedded bullet was
cocained, SO as to deprive il Of feeling.
Then the probe was thrust in. As the end
of the steel came within six inches of the
bullet, the surgeon with his ear to a tele-
phonic cup heard a humming sound
which grew louder as the metal was ap-
preached. The flesh was jabbed num-
Der of times, and the trial was regarded
as success. Later, a war veteran sub
mitted TO a search for bullet that had
entered his chest and remained somewhere
in him for twenty years The needle
hummed its way to the leads hiding place
and it was removed DR.. John II. Grid
ner, who operated the instrument, said
that its use would have saved Garfield s
life in all prohabihty.-New York Sun.

Thurlow Weed used to tc;l about man
from the western part of the state of New
York, with a most resplendent and fiery
proboscis, who went to Albany for the
purpose of asking an Office of Governor
Bouck. Being cautioned not to appear
before the governor (who was a strong
temperance man in that nose, he, by the
advice of a waggish physician, applied a
flaX-seed poulsice to it before going to bed
the night previous to the intended call on
the governor. The next morning he ap-
peared at the breakfast table of the hotel,
with his nose bleached aad parboiled,
looking for all the world like a washer
woman's thumb. The doctor was himself
an applicant for office, living in the same
hotel, and had advised the poultice only in
joke; but when he found the man had
actually applied it, he let the cat out of
the bag. The boarders were accordingly
on the lookout for the patient in the morn
ing, and when the nose appeared there
was such roar of laughter at the table
that the poor fellow had to change his
lodgings before calling upon the temper

The average weight of the brain in
men is forty seven ounces, and in women
some four or five ounces less; the human
organ being absolutely heavier than that
of any of the lower animals except the
elephant and the whale, with brains of
ten and five pounds respectively. AS a
rule, mental capacity and the size Of the
brain quite closely correspond; and it has
been observed that Lrain weight of less
than thirtytwO ounces in an adult person
is always accompanied by defective in
tellect. The rule has its exceptions, how
ever, notable one being that of Gam
beta, the small weight of whose brain,
less than forty-four ounces, is attracting
the attention of French anthropologists.
A contrasting case has recently been fur
nished in an idiot with brain of fifty
five ounces.
Familiar great brains are those of Gu
vier and Webster, each exceeding GA
ounces; of DR.. Abercrombie, 63 ounces,
and Of Duypreten, 63 1-2 ounces. Des-
cartes, Raphael and VOltaire had small
heads, while that of Napoleon was only
slightly above the average, and that of
Schiller not at all. The Hghtest brain on
record weighed eight ounces and belonged
to an idiot boy, and that of an idiot
woman weighed ten ounces. The average
brain of Englshmen is 40 ounces; that of
Frenchmen little over 45 ounces; that Of
Dutch, Italians, Swedes and Lapps comes
nearer the English, while the German
brain is heavier. In India the weight is
from Al to A ounces, in Africa 43, and
in America 46.-Arkansaw Traveller.

An Old Superstition.

The Hungarian peasants still believe
the old superstition about the Jews using
the blood of infants or young children in
certain of their rites, fact brought con-
spicuously to light four or five years ago
in the trial of Jew for child murder, one
of the children of the accused being the
principal witness against its parent. In
Roumania, Bulgaria and Roumelia it is
even worse, the peasantry of these coun-
tries being even more ignorant and super
stitious. .-Buda- Pesth Cor. San Francisco

The Germ of Dinhtheria.

According to DR.. John C. Peters, of
this city, the germ of diphtheria is so
nearly like that of common putrefaction
that it is very difficult to tell them apart.
Diphtheria germs are more active and
virulent than those of common putrefac-
ton. Nevertheless, the latter may cause,
in persons who have delicate mucous
membranes, an attack of cankered sore
throat. This is seldom fatal, but is often
infectious to young children, and may de-
velop in them true diphtheria. An adult
affected with sore throat should never,
therefore, kiss child, especially upon its
lips. The affectionate caress may cause
the child's death.-Boston Budget.

London had won the competition out
right, and the hurricane of cheers which
greeted this fact was heard in the stiffness
of the night by solitary policemen at q
distance of miles from the scene of action.
Mr.. Hailstone, in whose honor the
cheering was renewed, appeared at the
| window after short pause and made the
| following statement:
"Every line," said he, s'that 1 ever re-
member to have had published has been
secured by Messrs. Jones and Williams;
but the former, by some extraordinary
chance, has come into possession of
fragment that wrote when an infant,
fragment which my father, the late Felix
Hailstone, of Mincing Lane, had printed
exactly as it left my childish pen. This
fairly comes under the conditions of my
original manifesto: it is fiction and writ
ten by me''
The biography which robbed Mr.. Will
Gams of 10000 and put that sum into
the pocket of Mr.. Jones, is worth the
trouble of transcribing:
'There was wunce a boy called Jon hoo
run away to to korul refes and parms
he was Grounded
''Felix Hailstone
''aged years"
So ended the Hailstone competition
What it cost its originator and what good
it did to him would be too considerable a
question for mere passing inquiry. Some
people declare that Felix actually made
money by his scheme; others, that he lost
half his fortune and gained nothing; but
Hailstone himself never touched upon this
point to us, and, after all, the subject is
purely personal one. Let us leave our
author, therefore, in the halcyon hour of
success. He was heard to say, not long
since, that fear, almost amounting to
conviction, troubled him, When ques-
toned upon the color of his alarm he an
swered that the possibility of some day
writing himself OUT of some day find
ing that he had said all he has got to say,
weighed heavily on his mind.
There is something singularly touching,
modest and groundless in these appre-
hensions.-Eden Phil,potts in Belgravia.

no DEMAND FOR CLEMENCY.

Governor Oglesby Has Received But Ono
Forma Petition in Behalf of the Anarch-
lists.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Oct. 28.-It is
curious fact that among all the communi-
cations that have reached the Governor
for and against clemenoy for the anarch-
lists, there is but one formal petition and
that is mailed from small interior town
in New York. The main body OF oil the
other literature on the Governors desk
consists of personal appeals end remon-
strsnces. Il has already become an in
teresting question, therefore, whether
there is such case before the govern
ment in behslf of these prisoners
as he could act upon. In
fact the Governor says thst
10 such application as contemplated in
law has been fled in behalf OF the men
under sentence in Cook county in what is
known.a the anarchists case. Whether
the Governor would consider q case not
conforming to these legal requirements
can only be inferred. A letter TO the GOV
ernor written by Parsons which was
printed in several of the eastern papers
was never mailed to him or st least he
never got it. Therefore he officially
knows nothing OF it.

GOOD ROADS.

"Tne value of good roads," says the
Springfield (0aio) Farm and Fireside,
sis seldom fully appreciated. They not
only directly increase the value Of the
land through which they pass, in the les
SEEMING of the cost Of placing its produce
upon the market, but Indirectly they serve
as 8 stimulus to greater neatness in the
arrangement anu management OF farms
and buildings, and to the use OF better
methods in agriculture. The implanted
house and the uskempt lawn, the trash
Uttered barDyard and the brush-grown
fence rows, that were in entire harmony
with the meaudering dirt road with it's
ruts, stumps, stones and mudholes, look
strangely out Of place when this prin-
tive highway, has been replaced oy the
turnpike, with its straight, smooth road
way; and the facilities which this road
cffars fer getting out at all times to see
what ones ueighbors and the world at
large are doing, and for bringing these
neighbors past ones own fields, soon
breed discomfort with sloVenly methods
of management and culture which was
undreamed of before, and the result is
that the greater neatness OF the farm, and
its greater proGuctiveRess under better
management, add more to its value.than
even the better market facilities which
the new road affords. The foregoing is
no mere theory. The writer has watched
the transition of large extent OF country
from 6 region OF Clay roads, muddy most
of the year, and almost impossible In the
spring, to one of hard, graVeled roads,
upon which full load may be drawn any
day in the year, and the result is Just
that described" Good roads do for the
country what railroads do for the town.
They revolutionize the habits and meth
DDS begotten Of isolation. Once accessi-
bic to the world, people are brought IN
contact with improvement and advance
ment and prosperity follows. II is s sorry
civilization that contents itself with
Hbridle paths'' or dirt roads that are nav
igable only in summer. Much Of the dis
content that obtains among the people OF
the country would disappear with the
benefits that follow the opening of good
roads
